Laws, Volume 13, Issue 3 (June 2024) – 14 articles
Cover Story (view full-size image):
In this article, it is proposed that American universities have been shaped by democratic legal ideals and have navigated conflict by presupposing skepticism about the basic questions of meaning that each person must answer. The legal structures developed by Westphalian Modernity attempt neutrality on questions about meaning. This can be seen even in recent Supreme Court decisions affirming the individual’s right to determine meaning for themselves. This skeptical root has produced the conflict between classical liberalism and social transformation that we are witnessing at our universities. This article proposes a third option found in the Declaration of Independence related to the affairs we can and should know the answer to basic questions, which then provides the foundation for education and law.
